[Intro ]

Verses 1, 2 and 3 
G            C 
The moon has come out tonight 
G          C 
Round as a crying eye 
G          C 
Round as a ringle of smoke 
Em         D 
From your smoke signal sky 

G        C 
I am the oak and the maple 
G      C 
I have covered my roots 
G           C 
You are the dancing Virginia 
Em       D 
In black leather boots 

G         C 
Come as a silver morning 
G           C 
Come as the dragonfly 
G          C 
Come as my sleeping sister 
Em          D 
Through the midnight sky 

[Refrão]

Chorus 
A                  D      E 
Cover me with your fire's ashes 
A                  D        E 
Cover me with your midnight veil 
A                  D     E 
Cover me with your smoky river 
A         D       E 
Cover me, dancing Virginia 

Verses 4 and 5 
G              C 
There's a pain in my side 
G        C 
And it's killing me 
G         C 
There's a field of crows 
Em    D 
Now a black sea 

G          C 
And I have called upon the hills 
G          C 
And I have called upon the soil 
G             C 
And they have screamed in my ear 
Em          D 
Where's your heart boy 

[Refrão]

Chorus 
A                  D      E 
Cover me with your fire's ashes 
A                  D        E 
Cover me with your midnight veil 
A                  D     E 
Cover me with your smoky river 
A         D       E 
Cover me, dancing Virginia

Verses 6 and 7 
G            C 
Your moon has come out tonight 
G          C 
Round as a crying eye 
G          C 
Round as a ringlet of smoke 
Em        D 
From your smoke signal sky 

G         C 
Come as a silver morning 
G           C 
Come as the dragonfly 
G          C 
Come as my sleeping sister 
Em          D 
Through the midnight sky

Bridge 
    D             G 
The gray elephant folds of adventure 
    D             G 
The blue oasis of meditation 
    D                    G 
The feathered touch of a sleepy afternoon 
    D                 G 
Beneath the tent of a palmetto haven 
        D              G 
And I'm rising upwards from my feet 
   D            G                       A 
As children run side by side with their elation
